Clearing all the weapons from my map so I can remove Weapon Tech and replace with Vanilla Weapons Expanded was an effort, and although I appreciated the gold plated AK and Hello Kitty PDW, there were a few too many variations.

VWE has just the variation I like.

What's the best way to deal with a colonist that arrived with a built-in psychite addiction and chemical fascination? He doesn't give a poo poo about the drug restriction schedule I put him on and keeps inhaling whatever yayo, go-juice, wake-up etc. raiders drop.

If he's high, fine, but I'm not growing an entire psychite field to prevent his weekly tantrums

If the problem is just the mental breaks due to withdrawal, your best bet might be to get him off the addiction. Easiest way to do that is to cripple him (remove legs, or spine) so that he can't have mental breaks, wait out the addiction, then replace the removed parts. Mostly costs you labor time as people have to feed him, and he's not productive all the while.

Alternatively, wall him into a personal research lab with a nutrient paste dispenser for food. Gets some degree of productivity out of him while he is weaned off the psychite, though there's the risk of a mental break for self-harm or berserk to break things that might need intervention.

All of the vanilla expanded mods are just the perfect combination to appear like they should be a part of vanilla. Highly recommend 100% of them.

E: ^^^ Word, I should do a combined labor/health camp somewhere.

How do I remove his legs or spine? It doesn't appear in the operation bill tab.

This addiction mechanic is actually pretty good. I deal with detoxing people in real life (sans the spine removal of course), and with those that are addicts, no amount of restrictions or drug changes help, they'll invade any drug storage zone they can find and drain that sucker dry. Those who aren't, will stop if they are convinced it's a problem.

Removing healthy body parts might be a modded thing adding extra operations. Should be possible to install a prosthetic (e.g. wooden peg leg) and immediately remove it though, unless that's also a modded thing. It's been a while. :v:

Psychology mod lets you treat Chemical Fascination (although you might need to reapply the treatment operation if you miss their top-ups) and you can also wall up the drugs. Pawns aren't smart enough to break down walls to get to the 900 units of space cocaine I've got stored.

Yeah, Psychology lets you deal with junkie colonists without resorting to crimes against humanity. You can treat the traits that make them take drugs unprompted and then give them methadone to combat the mood penalty for withdrawal. And if they get addicted to the methadone, well, at least it's probably less of a hit than whatever you're weaning them off of?

This was the solution I tried to jury-rig by first making psychite tea to get out the yayo habit, then giving him beer or smokeweed to take the edge off, but his psychite withdrawals hit too often and hard.

I don't know if I can add the psychology mod without starting a new game, but since I can't cut his legs off either I might have to. Thanks for the help!

Anesthetize them. Possibly repeatedly. If they are unconscious they can't be getting into drugs.All it costs is herbal medicine too. And it gives medical xp.

You're all missing the much more obvious solution: get him addicted to everything, then cut him off completely all at once. The withdrawal will hit him like a semi doing 120 in a school zone and will put him out of commission until at least one of the addictions completely clears, at which point the others will be mostly done, too and you can use one of the other solutions to carry him the rest of the way.

It's an operation that requires a colonist with some medicine skill and a bit of social skill.

I think you can also 'cure' addiction by sending people on a caravan off to nowhere and letting them stew out there in the wilderness until it's over. It's like the Evil Dead remake, but with less demons (or equal number if you've got the right mods).

To be fair, I'd be depressed too if I had to deal with steel insects, cleaning up tribesmen corpses and eat bad berries on a daily basis.

I still don't know how to treat the mental issues popping up in the psychology mod? If it's in the operations bill, I can't find it or haven't researched the correct tech.

Some of them, like anxiety, you need enough glitterworld meds in storage and a medic with enough skill for the treatment to show up.

The next movie better not make me shave anything :(

I had a long running colony hit a bug that loving sucks. I had about 20-24 colonists. 7 mages who had high stats all around, a fat gently caress anime nerd who is the younger brother to one of the mages that a succubus married and uses as a statboost battery, another mages grandma who cleans and has shooting/melee in the low teens, and a platoon of skaven Id captured and bought to act as soldiers and guards. Running it in the Middle ages with the Maynard Medieval, I snagged a tech persona core that gave me heavy guns and all the tech under it. So platemail wearing ratlings with m1 garands guarding the wizards supporting pillboxes and hardened positions. My personal win condition was to fully cyborg up my paladin through quest rewards.

The bug I ran into was my colonist status bar just deciding to not load at all after game start. toggling it at the hud options at the bottom right corner did nothing, reloading did nothing. loading an old save worked the first time, but the 2nd time it hit, none of the saves were valid. anyone seen this? if so, how to fix/prevent this poo poo?

Curing anxiety shouldn't but the other Psychology operations require some skill in Social as well.

The minimum for most Psychology treatments (pyromania, chemical fascinate, etc) is 3 Medicine 6 Social.

Anxiety has its own requirements including 3 glittertech med and 15 Medical skill.

Yeah, it always felt weird to me im vanilla not to have to deal with making GBS threads and bathing, two integral parts of the human experience and quality of life, when we are dealing with the equally-integral eating, loving, and sleeping.

Of course the mod like the base game doesn't really address drinking water and how clean or contaminated it is, which seems like it ought to be a pretty important factor in a minutia-oriented small-community survival and war crimes simulator.
